Somewhere along the line I’ll try to get my surviving (overwintered) large hanging pot of Impatiens repotted. They look VERY good, and are still flowering. I wish I’d had room to keep all 3 pots going, but, the only spot for the other 2 was the garage and it got too cold for them out there a few weeks ago. Out heating bill was just outrageous, and I had to cut back somewhere...
I’ll probably even try setting this one pot out, and bring it back in when (likely) we get a blast of cold - in fact, one looks to be coming early next week. The Weather Channel is predicting at least one low around 21 deg. F. (Darn!! That will kill a lot of stuff that’s out there trying to get going early... Which includes those buckeye nuts already trying to get going.) That (cold blast) will also delay me getting all the hoses set up outside, I’m afraid, so lugging water out to the chickens will be a thing for at least another week. :-(
INSIDE, over the weekend I added badly needed auxiliary lighting to 3 spots in our kitchen. I still see clearly (with glasses) but need more light to do it, these days. :-(
Now, among other things, I can better see what I’m preparing on the counter “in the dark corner”, or, over on the stove, what I’m cooking there! :-)
The light built into the stove itself that used to shine on the top was long defunct and the contacts to the bulb bad / corroded. Repairing that didn’t look particularly practical, so I just added and hard wired into the hood above the stove a much better (once I’d modified it) under cabinet LED light. One can even adjust the light color - not that I’m sure why I would. Wifey thinks it’s almost too bright, but, she’s a few years younger than I. I told her “give it a few years”.
